“Together, they will help guide the strategic direction of the UN Global Compact as we work to mobilise a global movement of sustainable companies and stakeholders to create the world we want,” she said.

Ms Mutahi termed the appointed as an honour.

“I look forward to championing responsible business practices in Kenya and the wider Africa through the integration of the UN Global Compact principles in business as well as the implementation of the sustainable goals to achieve Vision 2030 and Agenda 2063,” said Ms Mutahi in a statement.
